One of the cited 12 ME studies was publsihed in the Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science.
Dillbeck, M. C. (1988). (abstract) Collective consciousness and social change: Effects of the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field on U.S. violence. Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science, 95 (1), A56. This journal requires payment by authors for publication. http://www.iacad.org/jiassubmit.html current board members http://www.iacad.org/board.html#past The area of focus is broad based -- not social science focused. A number of the chairs for areas of focus are vacant, including psychology and physiology. The Academy does not appear to be a research powerhouse -- its research budget is $40,000 / year. And it does not appear to have strong review capabilites in the fields of pshychology and physiology -- areas particulalry important for TM / ME research. To call this a third tier journal may be generous.
